Ah, December 2021, when the year that was FINALLY ran out of steam and ground down to the end. I thought we’d never make it.
I got all the important stuff done by about the 15th, so for a couple of glorious weeks I had NO deadlines!!
| Virtue | Nov | Dec | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beauty: body I enjoy exercising my lean, healthy 59 kg body several times a week. • Eat < 5g of salt and sugar per day. • Walk 10,000 steps per day. • Sleep 8 hours each night. • Go vegetarian | 😐 66.6 kg | 🙂 65.6 kg | My weight seems to have reached a new stability in the 65.x kg range. I haven’t been there since May 2017, so I’m pretty happy! Thought about being elderly. |
| Beauty: garden My garden is peaceful (lush and abundant, providing habitats, weather protection and a mystical threshold) Q1&2: finish the plan and start landscaping/planting. | 🙂 | 😐 | We had some hot dry days, which were a nice contrast to the cold wet ones. Consequently, the garden sprouted a new crop of weeds while we weren’t looking. If we go ahead with the extension, I’ll have an extra year or so to make some plans. |
| Beauty: home I live in a comfortable home that soothes my soul. | 🙂 | 🙂 | The house guy has come up with some fantastic plans, so now it’s time to negotiate the nitty gritty. I tidied my desk, though there’s still more to do. |
| Friendship: Friends I love meeting new people, and as I am friendly and outgoing, I make friends easily. • Make some local writer friends. | 🙂 | 😐 | Just us over the festive season, though it’s not been too bad. |
| Friendship: Creatures My creatures are happy and healthy and find my garden a haven. | 🙁 | 🙂 | Clever Girl’s denistry went well. |
| Friendship: Contribution I share my knowledge, time, and money with those who need it. • Write and publish stories. | 🙂 | 🙁 | Can’t say I did much of anyhing on this one. Aside from sharing a new short story, and a new collection Five Faces of Felicia Clarke out just before the end of the year. |
| Pleasure: Recharge Read 104 books | 🙂 | 😐 | Read nine books; came in at 63 for the year – a bit behind my target. • The Proof is in the Plants • The Dragon Republic • Winning Short Story Competitions • Starstruck in Seattle • The Hen Who Dreamed she Could Fly • From the Ground Up • The Scent of Salt & Sand • Zero Waste • The Scent of Almonds • |
| Wisdom: growth I learn and grow every day. • Visit a historically or culturally significant venue or event each month. | 🙂 | 😐 | Lots of venues still closed; managed one farmers market, and several visits to the cherry farm. |
| Wealth: time Write 653,236 words to complete my first million fiction words. | 🙂 | 🙂 | I had more time than I knew what to do with. |
Apparently I thought a lot over December 2021, particularly about goals and planning for 2022.
At least that’s what’s in my productivity journal as I tried starting up the Morning Pages again, and combining it with the Miracle Morning.
So that’s me for December 2021. How did you fare?
